To expand on this a bit: the raffle ARV cannot be more than 300x the ticket price. Ideal setup is 2x Twin berths + $5k cash, ticket at $100. This would be an ARV of $33k, or 330x the ticket price, and so cannot work.

Possible options:

A. Raffle off 2x Twin + $2k; charge $100. ARV $29.9k, or 299x.
B. Raffle off 2x Twin + $5k; charge $110. ARV $32.9k, or 299x.
C. As above, but charge $118/120. More significant number in Judaism, and can sell ~10% fewer tickets to make it worthwhile.

Vote!
tax purposes?

C. Though I'd make it $119 or $121.

I'm surprised that's even a question for you, after all you know about me. I just have a built-in non-affinity for the "standard", "normal", etc.

Except if it's cash, where coming up with the odd number might be a hassle, I would always give $101 rather than $100, be it as a gift, donation, etc.

I like the idea of the $5k prize, since there's more that goes into trip planning / prep then just plane tickets.

If that is the case then I would add .99 to whatever is decided.  :P

D. Arrange a glitch thereby lowering the ARV.

In the end of the day it's probably right. I was thinking a bit too creatively and it's just not worth it. If enough tickets sell, great. If not then noone will be charged and life goes on.

Yet Judaism is all about keeping everything simple, simultaneously with non-simple.

On a side note, is a charity involved?
